Someone on Yelp posted the "official" apology that they issued:
STATEMENT
HAYNES MANAGEMENT
June 16, 2011
(Wellesley, MA) As a family owned company of 21 employees, Haynes Management is deeply committed to providing a supportive workplace environment for all of our colleagues. We recognize the important role each of our employees plays in our success and stability as a company.
We have a strong track record as an employer, with many employees who have worked with the company for more than 10 years. It is our practice to work collaboratively with employees during incidence of medical issues that impact the individual or members of our families.
The leadership of Haynes is confident that we followed appropriate practices in connection with recent events concerning a member of our staff. Media reports regarding the circumstances of this decision
have been inaccurate; however, out of respect for the privacy of the individual involved, we will not comment on the specifics.
In recognition of their unique circumstances and level of hardship created by his wife's illness, Haynes Management is reaching out to our former employee to determine if there is a way we can be supportive to his family during this time. This decision is consistent with our values as a family owned business and our commitment to being a responsible member of our community.
